- Hanson's lead singer is partnered with pro Britt Stewart.
- He is unsure about dancing to 'MMMBop' on the show.
Taylor Hanson, the lead singer of the band Hanson, is joining season 35 of Dancing With the Stars. He will be partnered with professional dancer Britt Stewart, who is entering her seventh season on the show. Hanson revealed that while many expect him to dance to the band's 90s hit "MMMBop," he has not committed to performing the song.

Stewart praised Hanson as an amazing student and expressed that their partnership has been a give-and-take since day one, with both partners showing up authentically.
Other notable contestants joining Hanson on season 35 include Jenna Dewan, Julia Stiles, and Harry Shum Jr. The two-night premiere of Dancing With the Stars is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, airing at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+.
